Re: 5 Kickers, 5 Punters

Has everyone here noticed that we are the only team in the NCAA with 5 kickers on our roster and 5 punters on our roster? This kind of surprised me, most teams don't carry that many at all.

Did you really look at every roster in the country to compare? Talk about having some free time!

Most are walk-ons who will never get within a country mile of playing in a game. You are right, it's hard to figure out why any team would need that many walk-on kickers and punters just taking up space and using up oxygen. Because that's all they will ever do at ISU.

Weakest link? No. Easiest to single out? Yes.

"Every season" implies more than the last two.

Lack of a reliable kicking game cost us big time in close losses in 2001, 2004, and 2005. Hell, even 1972 (Nebraska).

Re: 5 Kickers, 5 Punters

we will probably have a non shollie player do the punting. let's hope he can run,pass and punt. we need some razzle dazzle plays on our punting team to win some ball games. i had a kid on rhoads 'desk that averaged 43 yards per punt and he had kicked 6 field goals from over 50 yards and two of them 59 yards out his senior year -we lost him to west texas at canyon,texas.
